Summary:
Oneonta won their first state
championship since back-to-back wins in 1971 and 1972. The Redskins lost in the title game last season
but returned in 2004 to claim the Class3A title.
Entering the fourth
quarter, the Redskins trailed 21-7 but would put on a fierce
rally to win. Facing a fourth and nine play from their own
42-yard line, Oneonta quarterback Brody Cornelius found Miguel Hurtado
for a 51-yard gain to the Winfield seven. They scored two plays
later to cut the lead to 21-14 with 9:52 remaining in the game.
The comeback continued
with a Cornelius-to-Hurtado pass to tie the game, followed by a 29-yard Hurtado run with 3:52 left that put Oneonta ahead
28-21.
Winfield had one last
chance when they blocked a punt and recovered it at the Oneonta
19 with 2:28 left. Two plays later quarterback Blake Franks
threw an interception and the Redskins could finally celebrate
the championship.
